Why did Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Daming, call himself "za" instead of "me"?

This is the concrete manifestation of Zhu Yuanzhang's high emotional intelligence.

Zhu Yuanzhang can ascend to the throne of the emperor, and there are many talents around him. Although most of these talented people are miserable, Zhu Yuanzhang, who became the emperor, used "Zha" to express his loyalty, which was not that high, and used "I" to distinguish between high and low.

Coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang's small living environment, he changed for a while. Zhu Yuanzhang is an Anhui native, and miscellaneous words are generally pronounced as "miscellaneous" in Jianghuai Mandarin. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Fengyang, Anhui Province, and the owner claimed to be "miscellaneous", but he did not change when he became emperor.

After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, Song Lian, a great scholar, suggested Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty is now the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, you should call me, not me! " Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Are you afraid that everyone in the world will laugh at us? Soil is soil, and my parents are farmers. Maybe everyone will be more cordial after knowing my life experience! If we don't change, we are me and I am us! "

With the increase of Zhu Yuanzhang's knowledge and political experience, Zhu Yuanzhang still calls himself "Zha" and never seems to feel inferior because of his own soil and humble background. This is also to make the people who helped him fight the world feel that he remembers his origins and shows his character.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is a man of great courage. At that time, after his disagreement with Guo Zixing, they parted ways. But when he knew that Guo Zixing was having a hard time, he took the initiative to form an alliance with Guo Zixing and even made him his own leader, just to repay his gratitude when he met him ... It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang's generosity is not something that ordinary people can have, and he may feel the same way about whether to use the informal term "I" or "miscellaneous".

The most fundamental reason is that family background has a vital influence on a person's growth. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor family since childhood. His parents are honest people who have helped the landlords and have no education. Zhu Yuanzhang used to be called Zhu Chongba. The name is based on his family's ranking. Casual, right? So, we can see how bad the situation in their family is. Zhu Yuanzhang was basically underfed and clothed since he was a child, and most of his immediate family members starved to death because of famine. So although he is not spoiled, he may not change for a while.
